Thanks, i can't wait to tear it up

A Little update, i'm ordering the cage for it in the next few days and i am getting ready to order the backhalf with 4 link in the next few weeks. i'm gonna finish gutting her monday and tuesday of next week. hopefully cut all the rust out at the same time, get the cab off the frame and dis-assemble the front suspension to start rebuilding it. after that i am gonna start reinforcing the frame for the cage and back half as well as starting to clearance the firewall and fill the holes. then the frame will get hacked up and backhalfed sometime in january or February. once thats done she'll get all the body work finished and i'll start converting the front end to an 03 Colorado extrememe front end and get the axle finished and start working on the cooling system and finishing out the interior with factory carpet, an aluminum dash, Racing Seats, Shifter, Nitrous Bottle(s), Switch panels, Gauges. At that point i'll finish the steering system and start working on getting the motor in. hopefully by next race season i can have her done, maybe before depending on the monetary flow and free time

So how are you going to convert the front end?
is it some sort of kit? or just start hacking and hope for the best?
